Viktor Orbán

Viktor Orbán is the Prime Minister of Hungary and leader of the Fidesz party. He is currently newsworthy due to the upcoming Hungarian elections and his increasingly strained relationship with Ukraine. Orbán's government has accused Ukraine of threatening his family and energy supply, and of pursuing an 'anti-Hungarian policy.' He has also called for a EU 'fact-finding mission' to inspect the Druzhba pipeline. Hungary recently seized millions of euros in cash and gold from a Ukrainian convoy, further escalating tensions. Orbán's actions, including blocking EU sanctions against Russia, have raised concerns within the EU and internationally, with some fearing he is undermining European unity. His recent endorsement by Marco Rubio is seen as a potential boost ahead of the election.
